I wrote this article recognizing that many readers will be turned off by its political content. And yes, it concerns the U.S. presidential election and possible impacts on the U.S. space industry. For those uninterested in U.S. politics, turn back now. Also, I’m uninterested in debating how wrong my opinion of a presidential candidate is. It’s an opinion, and it’s my opinion. 

To be clear, Donald Trump was and would be a terrible U.S. president. He blames others for all his failings (he’s exceptionally unlucky and always the victim). Trump is vindictive and petty. He’s easily manipulated (Harris did the verbal equivalent of drawing a tunnel on a wall quite a few times during their only debate, and Trump smacked into each one–EVERY SINGLE TIME). He preys on people. He’s a fan of Adolf Hitler’s generals…but doesn’t know who Erwin Rommel is? He definitely doesn’t know about Walter Dornberger, then.

Also, Trump is just whiny. This is my short list of reasons distilled from so many other reasons why he’s not qualified. I am also an independent with no desire to join political cliques. Political party loyalty is a double-edged tool I’d rather not deal with.
